TROLL BRIDGE

Monday, November 18, 2024 • Duration 01:04:39

"In weather like this right-thinking people were indoors, in front of the fire, telling stories about heroes."

Aged barbarian Cohen plans to kill a troll in single combat. Instead they find themselves reminiscing about how the Discworld used to be. Andy and PJ harvest PTerry's short story for themes and subtext before casting an eye over Snowgum Films' marvellous 2019 adaptation. There's also a contribution from Arsalan Haider Ali, who has never read Discworld.
